The newest members of the Telos Systems family of digital telephony products are now available. The TWOx12 Multi-Line Talkshow System and the Telos TWO Digital Dual Telephone Hybrid have begun shipments to customer, according to President Steve Church.

“These new products represent a breakthrough in broadcast telephony,” states Church. “Never before has it been so simple to produce great-sounding talkshows or telephone segments."

The two new products are the first anywhere that give users the flexibility to connect to digital ISDN telephone lines as well as traditional analog POTS lines. This ability enables broadcasters to take advantage of superior hybrid technology and new call management features immediately, and gain enhanced audio quality and call setup features upon their transition to digital phone lines.

The Telos TWOx12 is a multi-line telephone system designed for fast-paced talkshow production. Its twelve-line capacity offers increased flexibility for producers; unique icon-based visual call management, along with improved line status signaling and Caller ID support (when used with digital phone lines) means better control of the on-air environment. The Telos TWO contains two digital hybrids in a single rackmount unit, providing high-quality conferencing for radio production, corporate teleconferencing or distance learning applications where multiple lines are not required.
